THOROUGHBRED FOXHOUNDS. The Foxhound has for niauy years received unusual attention at the hands of sportsmen, and is now one of the most remarkable dogs the world. Many E n g I is h noblemen spend thousands oft dollars annually on f their fox-hunting es- tablishments. Our best American Fox- hounds have, by the most skillful breeding and selection, been greatly improved, possessing more speed, greater endurance, better tongue and better tail than any that can be had in England In England a fox hunt lasts only one or two hours, while here, on account of our hilly country and timber land, it often lasts eight and ten hours, therclore requiring hounds possessing great powers of endurance. Our hounds have large, rounded, strong and compact feet, which, when handled, feel like a piece of metal. A good foot is the great secret of endurance, and such hounds are capable of bearing hard work, day after day, without getting footsore. Our Foxhounds are bred from the most celebrated l' best watch dogs ; fully equal, if not superior, to larger dogs, which are more expensive to keep. Pups gioeach; ^18 per pair; grown dogs giseach; $25 per pair. The Skye Terrier (so-called from the Isle of Skye) is one of the very best ratters, and although of small size, is a good watch dog.
